Safetfy for you, your family and perhaps others Dec 26, 2009
By Nan I first saw this item demonstrated on Dr. Oz. As I had DVR'd the program, I watched it again to note the specifics (color, shape, etc.) of the item used and went on Amazon to match the item up. It matched the "Hawk Emergency Hammer." I ordered five for my family and me for Christmas (my husband, daughter, son-in-law and son). I wanted all of us to have the "Hawk Emergency Hammer" in each of our cars just in case it becomes necessary to use it (which I hope never happens) or if we're on the road and might be able to help someone else.

Seems Solid Jun 22, 2011
By Nanoarcher I'd read reviews of other car-window punch hammers and seat-belt cutters. Some of those reviews were skeptical, not favorable, or mostly inconclusive (units bought but untested under controlled conditions). Eventually, I went with this one (the blue one). Now that I have it in hand:
1) Though made in China, this hammer-cutter seems solid enough for the job.
2) The location and angle of the cutting crevice, relative to the handle-grip, is good.
3) The cutting crevice is long and deep, not short and shallow like many other cutters. Plus, a 3/4-inch of the blade is exposed, which isn't the case with most other cutters. Both of these features would seem to allow you to cut through more of the seat belt in quicker time. When speed is of the essence, that may make a big difference.
4) The blade is a special size (not an ordinary razor blade), with two holes in it to secure it over two plastic pegs inside the handle. As such, I don't think the blade is replaceable. But, then, I don't think most people would care about replacing a dull blade after any necessary use in a vehicular accident; they'd just be grateful to have gotten out of a serious, perhaps life-threatening, jam. However, if desired, perhaps the blade can be sharpened -- there are five Philips screws that hold the two plastic halves of the unit together, allowing easy access to the blade.
5) The blade is very sharp. I used it on a thick piece of cardboard, and it sliced right through. (Those who actually carry a sharp pocket knife or multi-tool may find such an alternative to be simpler solution.)
6) The black, plastic mounting piece comes with two tiny screws to secure it down in a reachable place in your vehicle. But, even if I could, I wouldn't want to screw into, and thus mar or crack, my car's plastic paneling. I had thought that the mounting piece might've come with an adhesive backing instead, but it doesn't. So, I'll just discard the mounting piece, and secure my hammer with sticky-back hoop-and-loop velcro fasteners in a discreet but easily reachable place in my car.
7) I ordered two of these hammer-cutters. One was missing the two mounting screws. As I've stated, I won't use the mounting piece; but, if I wanted to, I shouldn't have to go through the hassle of replacing two tiny items because of a manufacturer's oversight. (Vendors receive our money, but how many are conscientious enough to inspect their items for all their included parts, before shipping items out to their customers? My units came from the vendor "MFASCO." That said, I do appreciate their carrying this item and for having promptly shipped my items, which came individually boxed and otherwise intact.)
8) I'll update this review after I've tested this item on a real but discarded seat belt (or on some other similarly durable, thick-fiber fabric) and on a glass window from an auto junkyard. Because that's the main thing. We want to know if this gizmo will actually work, and work fast, when and if we may ever need it. As for the steel hammers, they look the same as on any other similar product, and are securely held in place in the head of the handle. I've no reason to think the hammers on this unit won't work. If both the cutter and hammer prove to be test-effective, this item will merit five stars in my book.

Mayday Window Punch Hammer Mar 18, 2010
By Carl I bought one of these for each of my vehicles. They appear to be adequate to break a window glass if necessary.

By Just another Mike Basic emergency tool every car should have. Bought one for each family car. Good for the price you get and hopefully never have to use.

Total junk May 02, 2012
By G. Massey
"BMW 6 series dude"
I took all 3 girls to the junk yard to clean out our totaled Lexus. While removing all out personal items I found this hammer I put in Last Christmas. Since the car was junk, I thought of actually trying the tool Out. None of my healthy, young teenage driving girls could break any glass. They all tried to break the side glass with the hammer. None broke.
The only thing that the hammer did well is slice through the seatbelt. The pointed end of the hammer mushroomed over and would not break the glass.
Cheap tool with poor quality pot metal in the hammer end.
I would not purchase one again.
